about:

Hi! I’m Alexandra, a UI/UX designer & researcher with a wide variety of expertise and a passion for new experiences. My passion, tenacity, and attention to detail are driving forces in my work, and I have both the knowledge to get the job done and the wisdom to ask questions when I don’t. My design decisions are grounded in research, enriched through collaboration, and focused on delivering intuitive and accessible solutions.

Outside of the office, you can find me at the gym, reading a book, or fighting my cats over my bagels (not the bagels themselves; they like to eat plastic bags.) (yes, we have pet insurance).

performance reviews:

Don’t just take my word for it - my performance is backed by supervisor evaluations.

“Alexandra was highly professional and competent every single day of the co-op semester. She was always punctual, paid attention to details, and produced an incredible volume of quality work that far exceeded our expectations.”

“Alexandra was very easy to communicate with, she understood and asked questions when she didn't, she wasn't afraid to tackle hard problems to solve. She was extremely helpful in every project no matter how small or large the project was.”

“We appreciated [Alexandra’s] dedication, perseverance and design intuition that led to a really exciting and lovely work.”
